N kl!«.1 LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 20, ‘s36. Lord STA NLEY, we believe, has as much business on his hands as he can well manage. Symptoms of dissatisfaction, if not of rebellion, have of late manifested themselves among the Noble Lord's constituents, which Trust occupy his exclusive attention, otherwise we should have recommended to him the careful perusal of a letter lately published and addressed to him by the younger brother of a dissatisfied country gentleman. If he is as " much in love with vanity" as formerly he was, the truths therein told cannot fail to produce a salutary effect on his mind. The " Younger Brother" is entitled to considerable praise, for the ability with which he has dissected tin. Dilly Driver. The political career of the would-be leader is traced with a severe but faithful hand, and its nume rous deviations from the right line are exposed to public view in all their wanton and unprincipled irregularity. It is perhaps not generally known that when this pert lordling abandoned the ranks of the Reformers, and, like a genuine apostate, lifted his heel against his former associates, his grandfather, the old Earl of DERBY, one of the stanchest Whigs that ever lived, not only gave the degenerate " scion of a noble stock" a severe rebuke, but actually threatened to disinherit him if he did not mend his manners, and make an apology to Lord GREY for the indecent remarks he had made on the Noble Lord and his colleagues. STANLEY deemed it expedient to comply. We advise those who think Lord STANLEY'S pub lic conduct worth the troubloof investigating, and who at the same time have no objection to see the lash well laid on the back of a deserter from his colours, to send to FELLowEs's, Ludgate-street, for this amusing . pamphlet. If we should happen to have a little va cant space, we may probably lay a short extract or two before our readers in the course of the week. Bilboa has not yet been relieved, and we shall be most agreeably disappointed if it ever be relieved by General ESPARTERO. On the 11th inst. he was at Portugalette with his army—the scene of his most warlike exploits for the fourteen days immediately pre ceding that date. Fcr upwards of a week the weather was unusually fine ; the enemy was before him ; his force was equally numerous with that of the Carlists before Bilboa—and yet EsPA RTERO has contentedhim self with forming plans for crossing and recrossing the Nertian dry shod I There is not a more cowardly set of skulking scoundrels in the world than arc to be found wearing swords in the service of Spain. Without being screened by a hedge or covered by a wall, they only think of escaping with a whole skin. Generally speaking, the officers and men are worthy of each other. `Take as :an instance the following account, written by an eye-witness, of an engagement between the Christinos and the Carlists near Bilboa on the sth inst. We can vouch for the strict impartiality of the writer, and we are very certain that he has written nothing of which he has not had ocular demonstration. The letter, of which the following is an extract, bears date the 7th inst. from Portugalette :-- " The day before yesterday I was present at an affair which at one time promised to be the forerunner of a gene plain b e t ween the he i ghts of Ar ral action. On the fi ne riaga and Erandio a sol id mass of Carlist i n f an t r y, a bout two battalions, appeared, having sallied f ort h from a sma ll hamlet. This body was flanked by another battalion, drawn up in line at some distance on t h e right ; and in the rear was a general, supposed to be Vil lareal, and his s t a ff, w i t h a n escort of abo adozen lancers. Opposite w as an e qua l portion of the Qn-en's troops, who were drawn up, ready to resist the enemy's attack. Guerillas were thrown out on b ot h sides, and some desultory firing took place. The solid column of the Carlists moved steadily over the plains towards th e Queen's battalions. This movement was so different from the u sual practice of the Carlists, that one was almost at a loss host to account for it. At this moment a squadron of about 150 lancers of the Queen's were seen coming down a lane opening upon the plain ; and it appeared certain that their Intention was to cut the enemy off, and capture or destroy them. The cavalry advanced at rather a more moderato pace than I thought desirable ; but it was suggested that probably they did so in order to keep their horses in wind. When they deployed upon the plain the Carlist column was still advancing ; and both parties continued to do so until 'within pistol shot of each other, the guerillas being engaged 00 the flanks. As they drew nearer, however, I observed that now and then a few men from the ends-of the Carlist companies fringed off, as it were, to the right and left, making the best of their way towards the hamlet in their rear. Now was the favourable moment for the Queen's .cavalry to charge ; the plain was before them, and the • ,enemy attainable ; instead of doing this they made a sort 01 e curvetting move, the horses' legs going exceedingly f as t ? , without getting on. This was enough, neverthe less, for the Carlists ; the fringing off increased, the Jantic.rwrapced, and threw their horses on their haunches, / xll on a sudden the Carlist column broke up, ~g-ail d h 'regurar. rush took place towards the hamlet. '-it : T/ ::S 0 anxious were the rebels to reach it, that most of them : - ' ll,l ‘ - ; b E sat almost double in running, yet the Queen's Lancers, . thi. *lug also no doubt , that discretion is the better part of ~ a l o lip remained stationary, drawing up on the edge of the - , ~.._ - _ THE SU ------"• plain, in the best possible parade order. No sooner had the Carlists reached the houses than they valiantly began to fire away from behind them. It was a decided case of pusillanimity and bravado on both sides. I was close to of General Oraa, who commanded in conse quence of General Espartero's illness during the whole affair. He was justly incensed at the conduct of the ca valry, by which so fine an opportunity had been lost of cut ting off the whole Carlist column. He dispatched an aide de-camp to reprimand the officer commanding, who sent a message back saying that all he begged was that the Ge neral would release him from the command of a set of cow ards, who, at the critical moment, and when he was cheer ing them on to attack the enemy, refused to advance." History records many instances of armies which were seized with a sudden panic at the sight of an enemy, and who fled, when to stand would have been to con quer ; but our memory serves us but indifferently, if history record an instance of arrant poltroonery equal to this. It is SMOLLET'S duel between the Physician and the Painter magnified, and realized in the instance of two armies. The Chistinos curvetted their horses, and the Carlists levelled their, muskets—the belligerents on both sides with *their teeth chattering like a pair of castanets, and quaking with terror lest their opponents should not be the first to scamper off beyond the range of a fire of musketry. The cowardice of the QUEEN'S troops, and the indecision of ESPARTERO, are the two great causes of the long protraction of the siege of Bilboa. ESPARTERO is fit for nothing but the office of a drill serjeant. He has no grasp of mind, and no de cision of character. He is only a great soldier in his appearance, which is replete with martial dignity. His features have all the rigidity of marble, and his heart is a stranger to every compassionate feel ing ; but he has none of the requisites for a great Ge neral. He might have relieved Bilboa three weeks ago, and he would have done so had he not mo mentarily changed the plan of his operations. Per sonally ESPARTERO is a brave man, but he labours under the fatal defect in a soldier, of never precisely knowing his own mind. More than this, his loyalty is not above suspicion ; and he has more than once ventured upon a clumsy imitation of the intrigues of CORDOVA with a view to influence the policy of the Cabinet. The latest advices from Portugalette are of the 12th inst. On the following day ESPARTERO w a s to make another dash upon Bilboa, when he engaged either to relieve it or to perish in the attempt. We fear there are few of the QUEEN'S generals reserved for a death 'so glorious. Nevertheless, it is possible that he will endeavour to retrieve his character by compelling the Carlists to raise the siege; and if he can force his men to fight he will certainly succeed. The Spanish Government has guaranteed the pay ment of pensions to the officers and men of the, Bri tish Legion who have been wounded, or may receive wounds . , in the service of her Catholic Majesty. Pen sions are likewise granted to the widows of such as have falien,Thr may fall, before the disbanding of that force. This arrangement, so favourable to the troops, was effected by Colonel GODFREY with MENDIZA BA L during his late mission to the Spanish capital. As funds are wanted to supply the immediate wants of the men, it is understood that our Govern ment will supply them in the meantime, rather than suffer the Carlists to possess themselves of the strong garrison of San Sebastian—which they could not be prevented from doing were the Legion to evacuate the town. As to the 10,0001. advanced by MENDIZABAL to defray the expenses of the Legion, nothing more need be said than that ten times as much would fall short of liquidating the Legion's pecuniary claims upon the Spanish Exchequer. The Paris papers of Sunday have hll been received. The Moniteur thus concludes the telegraphic dispatch of the 13th inst., of which the first part appeared in our leading columns of yesterday You will see what you can do for the Turks and the Spahis. " The works necessary for the repair of the great part of the fortifications of Guelma will cost nothing, and will be executed by the troops, who are all animated by zeal and goodwill. Guelma is 18 post leagues from . Bona, and 20 from Constantina. It is an advantageous step towards Constantina, and will serve as a means for weakening— for destroying Achmet's power, and in obtaining easy pos session of the capital. " TOULON, DEC. 13, 4 O'CLOCK, F. 1.1 " His Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours has ar rived in good health on board the Sphinx, which cast an chor at three o'clock. The length of the quarantine is not yet determined on. The Prince engaged a sanitary guard at Mahon." In consequence of its being stated in public that General DE RIGNY was the officer alluded to in Marshal CLAUSEL'S despatch, as evincing cowardice in the course of the expedition against Constantina, the General has requested the Minister of War to in stitute an inquiry into his military conduct. There was a rumour in Paris on Sunday that General TREZEL had died of the wounds he received during the ex- pedition. The recal of Marshal CLAUSEL is again affirmed ; and also that the Government has resolved upon ano ther expedition against Constantina. Did we not pre dict this ? Did we not assure our readers that the recal of the Marshal was the great object of the KING throughout this affair ? We were confident that the expedition was secretly urged on, in the hope that it would prove unsuccessful. Thus the KING, to dis grace an African Viceroy, sacrifices the lives of four thousand of as gallant soldiers as ever paced the fields of France I And all to effect by an intrigue what an honest statesman would accomplish by a sentence paci fically penned in his Cabinet. The following important article relative to the affairs of Spain is copied from a Paris Journal of Sunday : " We are told that Mr. Ellice has had an explanation with the French Government, in the name of the British Cabinet, on several points relating to the affairs in Spain, and which will be submitted to the sanction of Parliament. It appears that Mr. Villiers has con cluded with M. de Calatrava a convention, in addition to the treaty of the quadruple alliance in two articles The first obliging the British Government to clothe, feed, and pay an English legion of 10,000 men ; the second, insuring to the Government of the Queen, as long as the Pretender shall not be expelled the Spanish territory, a monthly subsidy of 40,0001. (one million of francs), the pay ment of which is to commence on the Ist of next February, if previously the Parliament gives its assent to this con vention. In that case it has even been promised verbally that the subsidy shall be increased next spring to 60,0001. (1,500,000 fr.) The convention which regards the legion is, it is said, on the point of execution ; that corps will soon be re-organized, and put on the footing agreed upon. It is also said that a secret article exists by which England has reserved to itself the power of keeping a garrison at St. Sebastian, till the entire payment of what Spain may owe her by the new convention. Many add that the journey of th e Duke of Orleans to Brussels is connected with the affairs of the Peninsula." 'We have no authority for pronouncing the above statement true or false, and will therefore decline, for the present, to give expression to our opinions're speeting it. We do trust, however, that if our Go (vieerlinvien:nsaintp resolv e , even at the eleventh hour, to from the Carlists, her aid will be given in the s l i l a y p u e of men of rather than in that of money. A n t forty thousand pounds, or even of twice tha t amoun t , would be of no more use than a subsidy of an hundre d reals--so long as Spain is left o s o i to depend upon t he lo y a lty of her Generals, and the bravery of her troops. Spain wants soldiers much money—searce as is that more than she wan ts com modity in the Peninsula. In consequence of an e xchan g e of property having taken place between the Dean and Chapter and the Warden and Fellows of Winchester, an entire new range of build ings are about to be erected for the accommodation of the scholars of that ancient establishment. The College have agreed to appropriate 5,0001. to this purpose, and the re mainder is expected to be made up by subscription among the Wykehamists. V-4j_;s LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1836. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Last night Mr. Forrest had his benefit at this theatre, when he performed, for the first time, the character of Virginius. His performance of this part was one of the greatest efforts, if not the very greatest, that he has made since his appearance in England ; and, indeed, was, in many respects, one of the grandest displays of tragic power we have ever witnessed. In the s weet domestic scenes towards the beginning of the play, there was in I his manner a smoothness and softness which we could hardly have expected from his general style of acting, which, powerful as it is, is more remarkable in general for the production of striking effect than for sustained and simple beauty. In the pretty scene, however, in which Virginiimgently rallies his daughter on her love for Icilius his affectionate playfulness was delightful. As the tragedy deepened, his peculiar powers gradually displayed them selves. In the scene in which the messenger from Rome arrives to inform Virginius of the danger impending over his daughter, his agony of suspense, followed by the burst of joy—" I thank thee, Jupiter, I am still a father !" pro duced an electrifying effect. The great scene in the forum was splendid throughout ; and the deep stillness with which it was listened to showed how strongly it laid hold of the feelings of the audience. Such a breathless silence, pro duced by intense interest, is a better tribute to the power of the actor than the loudest applause. The general ex citement was suppressed till the conclusion of the scene ; when the exclamation, uttered with terrible energy—" Ap pius, I devote thee to the infernal gods V' was followed by a peal of applause that seemed to shake the house. The scene in the last act, where Virginius bursts upon the De• cemvir in his prison, demanding, with frantic fury, his daughter, and at last seizes his victim by the throat, and hold him in his grasp till he expires, was absolutely appal ling, and appeared to thrill the spectators with horror. To produce such an effect demanded the highest power ; the slightest failure might have rendered the attempt ridiculous. Mr. Forrest's reception throughout was of the warmest kind ; and at the conclusion when he ap peared before the curtain, he was loudly and repeatedly cheered. Mr. Knowles himself played the part of Den. tatus. The rough old veteran was • well suited to his style of acting. Miss Taylor, in Virginia, was somewhat deficient in siraplicity. The house was full, but not .so crowded as we think it ought to have been. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, DEC. 19.—Wind W. S.

We,have to announce the death of the Rev. Dr Rippon, which took place on Saturday last, in the 86th year of his age. This venerable Minister was pastor of the Baptist church, formerly worshipping in Carter-lane, Tooley street, from which place they were removed to New Park street. In his paternal office he laboured With great suc cess. He accepted his charge on the Ist of August, 1773, which office he filled for upwards of sixty-three years. It is worthy of remark that Dr. Rippon succeeded the vener able and learned Dr. John Gill, who was pastor of the same church for the period of fifty-four years ; by which it ap pears that the paternal office of this church was filled by these two eminent servants of God for the period of 117 years. SUDDEN DEATH OF A SPANISH NOBLEMAN.— Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was holden before Mr. Stirling and a respectable Jury, at the Duke of York, New Church-street, St. John's-wood, on the body of Don Cus tolio Costelio, aged 38, a Spanish Nobleman, who had re tired to this country from Spain, in consequence of the in testine wars in which that country was engaged. Mr. Thomas Evans No. 13, New Church-street, clerk in a joint stock banking company, last saw the deceased alive at his residence, No. 16, Gee-street, Somers Town ; he was a Spanish refugee, and a single man. On Thursday evening, shortly after witness had returned home, about seven o'clock, he was in the parlour speaking to the landlady, Mrs. Atherway, when his mother ran down stairs, from the drawing-room, exclaiming " Oh, Mrs. Atherway." She again returned, followed by witness and Mrs. Atherway. They entered the room, and found the deceased on the sofa ; he was struggling as if in a fit. Witness went for Mr. Mier, a surgeon, who bled the deceased in the arm, and jugular vien. In a few minutes after this operation the de ceased sighed and died. Mr. Mier stated that the cause of his death was a fit of apoplexy. Mrs. Atherway de posed that she was informed by Mrs. Evans, who from the sudden shock was too ill to attend, that she was talking to the deceased, who was standing before the fire. He was in earnest conversation when he suddenly fell on the sofa. In answer to a Juror, Mrs. Atherway stated that the de ceased, early in January, would have been married to Mrs. Evans. Verdict—" That the deceased died by the visita tion of God." A communication from Vienna of the 9th inst., in the German papers, states that " The Emperor of Austria is attacked by indisposition, which does not, however, give any ground for alarm. The public audience, which was fixed for to-day, has been in consequence put off. The same communication states, tkat of late, in the environs of Vienna, many robberies and burglaries have been committed. A singular case has, during this week, occupied the attention of the magistrates at Eton. A young man, about 26 years of age, rather respectably dressed, was stopped at Salthill on Saturday, evidently in a deranged state of mind. He has been questioned as to his name and residence,, but nothing to lead to any clue of either can be obtained from him ; he, however, frequently utters the name of " Julia,' " Jane," and " Pangbourn." On his person were found 2s. 6d, in money, and two books—" The Landscape Annual for 1830," and " The Village Curate." The unfortunate man is at present under the charge of John Timber, a con stable of Upton-cum-Chalvey.—Windsor Express. The female corpse at Finchley having been opened, and very little aliment of any kind being found, suspicion of a foul deed was not abated. It is essentially necessary, for the ends of justice, to correct the personal description which has appeared in several newspapers. As the body now lies in the coffin, placed in an outhouse, at the rear of the Swan Inn, the accuracy of the following account can be tested by visitors :—Age above forty ; a slight growth of hair on the chin. One of the upper front teeth wants a corner—the fracture was oblique. The countenance, pitted with variola, is full ; the nose rather s mall, and slightly wavy ; eyes as well as hair and eyebrows, which meet, nearly black. There is a mole on her side. Width across the shoulders 18 inches. Fatness, or tendency thereto, prevails in face and figure. The shawl is not " dark," but has been white, with sprigs in colours at the corner. The gown is " dark" only where the plaid or chequer is formed by various bars. List garters, night cap, small net kerchief, and front or temple nair, in paper, complete the inventory of apparel. The outer length of coffin approaches six feet. At the back of the head, and below, injury is evident. CHANCERY .COURT.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE THE KINGSTON CHARITIES. This case came before the Court upon petition, praying the confirmation of the Master's report approving of new trustees to the charity, in consequence of the old ones be coming extinct by the operation of the Municipal Re- form Act. His LORDSHIP made the order as prayed, affirming the Master's report. PORTS V. MANSFIELD. Mr. WALKER was heard to-day on this case, following Mr. Jacob. Sir C. WETHERELL proceeded to reply, but had not con cluded when our reporter left. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) - His HONOUR took short causes and causes to-day. cnossmaN V. KENRICK. Mr. KNIGHT stated that the plaintiff in this case was a clergyman who had filed the bill for the purpose of having the difficulties which was supposed existed in consequence of the words of his marriage settlement re moved by the declaration of the Court. The defendants were the wife of the plaintiff, his children, and the trus tees of the marriage settlement. The facts of the case were shortly these, the plaintiff was seized in fee of an advowson ; he married young ; the advowson being full when he married, he made it the subject of his marriage settlement. Shortly after the marriage, an avoidance of the advowson happened, and the plaintiff was pre vented by the trustees of the marriage settlement ; subsequently the advowson was sold under the trustees of the marriage settlement, but it appeared that at that time the plaintiff had accepted another living, which made the first voidable by reason of secession ; this coming to the knowledge of the purchaser, a great price was given for it ; the secession was afterwards made available, and the plaintiff lost the living. It was understood among all the parties that the produce of the advowson was to be applied to the use of the plaintiff, for his life, and for several years it had been so applied ; but lately, to the alarm and dismay of the whole family, doubts had been raised as to whe ther that application was not in the teeth of the set tlement, its terms requiring an accumulation of the whole income during the life of the plaintiff, the result of which would be, that until the death of the plaintiff there would not be a single shilling available, either for the support of himself or his family. Such being the state in which the family would be placed, the bill had been filed to have the declaration of the Court, that the plaintiff was en titled to a life estate in the advowson. This prayer the Learned Counsel trusted his Honour upon a liberal con struction of the settlement would feel himself justified in granting, and thereby prevent the family from actual starvation. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, after carefully reading the set tlement, said that however hard it might be, the Court could not break down an existing settlement, on the ground of hardship. Virtually, the plaintiff had had the benefit the settlement intended ; for, in endeavouring to get a greater benefit, he had in effect given up the benefit in tended by the settlement. Mr. KNIGHT asked his Honour if he would not direct a reference to the Master, with respect to the wife and chil dren, otherwise they must all starve. The VICE-CHANCELLOR did not see how he could make any such reference. It was certainly a hard case, but the Court had no alternative, but to construe an instrument as Oland it. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ADAMS V. THOMPSON. In this case, which stood on the paper to be spoke to, Counsel had not been instructed upon the minutes, and it was, therefore, ordered to stand over. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE CORPORATION OF NORWICH. The COURT was occupied the whole of the morning in hearing the public arguments in this case, which was part heard yesterday, a full report of the facts of which we shall give when the judgment is pronounced, which the Master of the Rolls stated he should give on a future day. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY. THE KING V. UNTIIANK. This was an indictment for making a false affidavit, brought against the defendant, an attorney of great respec tability and considerable practice in the city of Norwich. The affidavit rose out of some matters connected with pro ceedings instituted against Messrs. Postle and Ward, two magistrates of the county of Norfolk. After the case had been stated by Sir F. POLLOCK, Lord DENMAN observed that in his opinion the state ment made by the defendant in the affidavit was correct in point of law, and, therefore, the indictment could not be sustained. 'Fhe Jury immediately returned a verdict for the defen. dant. BLUNT V. lIESLOP. This was an action to recover a sum of 230/., the amount of an attorney's bill, for work done, and money paid, on be half of the defendant in certain law proceedings. The de fence was, that the action was commenced too soon ; and there was also a plea of negligence on the part of the plain tiff, whereby the defendant had lost his suit. The evidence was chiefly of a documentary nature, and the case is 'likely to occupy the Court till a late hour. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

HALF-PAST ONE. The Rhadmanthus steamer has arrived from St. Sebastian ; left on the 14th inst. We have seen a letter of the above date, stating that the Comet had just arrived there, with a demand from Espartero for heavy guns to force the Carlist position near Bilboa. Lord John Hay was embarking eight pieces of heavy cannon, under Major Col quhoun, in the Comet, and she was to sail immediately for Portugalette. It is also: stated that the garrison of Bilboa was determined to hold out to the last extremity, and that on the arrival of the heavy cannon, Espartero was determined to force the position of the Carlists ; at the same time the garrison was to make a formidable sortie. Private letters from Madrid positively state that General Ribero had received orders to make forced marches to join Espartero with 9,000 men. It is also stated that the attempt to relieve Bilboa was to take place on the 15th or 16th instant ; therefore the fate of that city may be hourly expected.

On Sunday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, as police constable William Bailey, H, 104, was going his rounds, he, in passing through George-street, Tower-hill, observed a bundle, which he took up, and on examination he discovered it to be the body of a new-born male child, which was evidently of recent delivery, but quite dead. He carried it to the station-house in Denmark-street, and yes terday information was forwarded to the Coroner to hold his inquest on it ; but up to a late hour last evening no clue could be obtained as to who was its unnatural mother. It is now three weeks since the gale of wind blew down several large trees in Hyde Park, one of which fell across the main footpath which leads from Knightsbridge through the Life Guards' Barrack-yard to Cumberland gate, where it still lays, with all its branches, to the great danger of foot-passengers passing this much frequented tho roughfare after night-fall, or in foggy weather. Is it not the duty of the Park surveyor to direct the removal of such dangerous nuisances to the public safety ? BRIGH , NDAY Their Majesties took a carriage airing this morning at twelve o'clock.

The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland intend to remain at Alnwick Castle until after Christmas. The Duke's health is considerably improved.

The Bishop of Durham, at the late confirmation at New castle, was also without his wig! Lord Erskine was a Dissenter ; Lord Rosslyn was, we believe, the same ; and Lord Brougham's connections were Dissenters. As Lord Lyndhurst was born in New England, the probability is that he was brought up a Dis senter. - A few days ago, a very fine fox, whose appearanee certainly did not indicate that he was in need of parish as sistance, presented himself at Ecyleshall Workhouse, and made his application in the irregular way of a spring at one of the lower windows.

Knight, London, 1836. This volume is the result of the author's (Mr. Von Raumer) historical researches in the British Mu seum and the State Paper Office, and is chiefly taken up with extracts from the official correspondence of the day, relative to the two queens and rivals, Mary of Scotland, and Elizabeth of England. It is a useful work, and furnishes admirable materials for a compen dious history of that particular period. A portrait of the Queen of Scots, taken, as Mr. Von Rau►ner conjectures, when she was only in her sixteenth year, forms the frontispiece of the volume ; and if it be really a genuine likeness, will go far to dispel the illu , ons under which we have so long lain, respecting the per sonal attractions of the unfortunate, and—we fear we must add—too guilty, Mary. She is here pourtrayed as a very grave, formal-looking lady, apparently some rive or six-and-twenty years of age, and of a truly masculine caste of feature. Y. LIBRARY OF ANECDOTE, Vol. I. C. Knight, London, 1836. The author—perhaps we should say, compiler—of this dandy, little duodecimo, is a gentleman named Bucke, who has produced a very readable miscellany — a sort of omniunz-gatheruni of essays, anecdotes, cri ticism, and brief, piquant reflections. A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON TEETH AND DENTISM. Longman, London, 1836. We should strongly recommend all those—and they form a large portion of the community—who are troubled with painful affections of the teeth and gums, to peruse this work attentively, for it contains more practical information on the subject, expressed in the clearest and most familiar language, than any work of the sort it has been our lot to meet with. Mr. Pater son Clarke is the author, a gentleman who has had great and varied experience as a surgeon-dentist, and is the inventor of the well-known anodyne cement. The following is his method of curing that intolerable nuisance, the toothache :—" The author's method of curing toothache is in general by the application► of an anodyne poultice. When applied, it is of the con sistence of soft dough, and affords immediate•relief in all cases of simple toothache. This poultice produces no effect whatever on the appearance of the tooth, and may be swallowed as harmlessly as a crust of bread: The volume is embellished with several neatly finished and appropriate engravings. Princess Polignac and her children, who hr,d been detained at Calais by unfavourable weather, arrived at the Clarendon Hotel on Sunday, from Paris. THE LATE MADAME MALIBRAN.—The remains of the unfortunate Malibran, after a lapse of eleven weeks. —chiefly occupied by proceedings in the Consistorial Court, altogether unprecedented in modern times—are at length to be disinterred and removed to Belgium.

It is worthy of remark (says the Mark Lane Ex press), that while the farmers in the northern and western departments are complaining of continual wet, which pre vents the termination of sowing, they are crying out 1 0 Languedoc against the drought, sufficient moisture not being afforded to enable the young wheat to rear itself, and they are fearful they shall have to re-sow the ground.

The Journal du Havre of the 29th ult., after stt-Airig that the port is crowded with weather-bound vessels, dwells on the damage occasioned by the violent westerly gales' which have prevailed almost without interruption sir ,ce the early part of September, and which have put a stop 1;0 most of the works on board the vessels being armed and fitted out in that port at high tide. On the morning of the 29th there was a heavy sea, which dashed over the most elevat , .d part of the quays, and at every instant the end of the jetty to the north, as far as the level of the battery constructed up 01) it, was completely covered by the sea.
